The 30th Olympic Games took place in London from July to August in 2012. Luckily, Chinese 1 fans could watch the exciting games in 3D on TV.

When you watch 3D movies or TV, you have to wear a(n) 2 pair of glasses. The 3D glasses make the pictures from the screen 3 they are there in the room with you.

3D means having three dimensions(维度): width, height and depth. 3D technology is similar to the way that the human brain and eyes work. 4 the pupils(瞳孔) of a person’s eyes are about 6. 5 cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from a different angle (角度). Our eyes 5 the two pictures to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small 6 between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye allows us to see depth(立体感).

When we 7 pictures in two dimensions, each eye gets the same information. That is because the picture has no real depth, and there is only one way of looking at it. A 3D movie or TV needs two film projectors(放映机). One projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture. The 3D glasses allow us to see 8 picture in each eye.

While one 9 3D films, he feels that he is actually in the same environment as the things he’s watching. 10 , it also has its disadvantages. People with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies.

We know that trees are useful in our everyday life. They 1 us many things, such as wood, oxygen(氧气), rubber(橡胶), medicines and many other things. They can 2 tell us a lot about our climate. The following are the reasons(原因). If you 3 a tree, you can see that it has many rings (年轮). Most trees grow one new ring 4 year. Because of this reason, we know 5 a tree is. A tree over a hundred years old means that it has more than a hundred 6 .When the climate is dry or very cold, the trees do not grow very much and their rings are usually 7 . When it is wet and warm, the rings are much thicker. If the rings are suddenly very thin or suddenly very thick, this means that the 8 changed suddenly(突然). If we look at the rings of this tree, we can 9 about the climate for a hundred years. We can see 10 our climate is changing today.
